There’s No Stopping Me From Actualizing The Bauchi Project – Gov. Mohammed

BY ADEYEMI AKANJI, BAUCHI – Governor Bala Mohammed has declared that nothing can stop his administration from actualizing the ‘Bauchi Project’ of his dream.

This was as he said that his administration has rescued the state from the negligence of the previous administration.

Mohammed also said that no type of unconstructive criticisms, no matter how injurious will discourage him from working towards the actualization of the new Bauchi State agenda which he is convinced is achievable.

The Governor, who stated these at the first State Executive Council meeting for 2022, said that targeted unconstructive criticisms will not discourage him from executing developmental projects aimed at upgrading both urban and rural areas of the state.

Mohammed commended members of cabinet for confronting challenges of governance as they reared up their ugly heads, assuring them of his support for positive results to be recorded.

He also applauded members of the cabinet for the synergy and creativity in the discharge of their assigned responsibilities thus, called on them to put more efforts for the success of the administration.

Mohamed said; “More projects will soon be embarked upon while all abandoned projects by the previous administrations will be completed in addition to numerous developmental projects aimed at upgrading the status of Bauchi State.

“Let me tell you that in the future, people will be telling you so many negative things, they are all part of politics, part of unconstructive criticisms aimed at discouraging us.

“I am aware that there are some forces trying to disparage our group, trying to penetrate our group (State Executive Council), to make sure, politically, we are divided by dropping ideas, dropping names and so on and so forth. We should beware of them and remain focused. As far as I am concerned, I appreciate what you do and I think the people of Bauchi also appreciate what we are collectively doing.

“We should please, minimize all those things that divide us, those divisive tendencies, utterances and what have you. I hear some of them and I discard them because, as a leader, it is not everything that you react to, but certainly, as a governor, I have so many ears that I hear so many things,” he said.

“And I don’t blame you because, obviously, we have plugged all the loopholes, even within the civil service, we may not have to bank on them because we are stopping the ghost workers syndromes, we are stopping them from getting so much from the system and in doing so, they may definitely not be happy,” Mohammed said.

He noted that there are some public servants in the state who are cultured and tutored in corruption, adding that such people cannot be eradicated but can only be minimized.
